i'm one of those silly people who still make new year's resolutions. actually, i make resolutions several times a year, but never really succeed in fulfilling them. it's funny how they're always about the same issues, same things that seem to bother me since ever: becoming more productive and creative, overcoming some emotional bagagge, losing weight, getting a better job, trying harder at school, being truer to myself, living healthier... i guess these are the things most people worry about. does being unable to carry these promises out mean i'm not becoming a better person? i don't really think so. i think it just means i'm aware of my faults and i'm still learning to live with them. would i really be 'happier' if i managed to accomplish any of these things? in my opinion, a much bigger step towards the so-called happiness is being able to forgive myself for not meeting my own expectations. there now. i have spoken. :)
2013. a brand new, fresh, clean set of 365 days for us to fill with ourselves. quite the best new year's gift i could ever imagine.

And spoken you have, indeed.
ReplyDeleteI somehow cannot join in in the jolly expectation of the new, clean, fresh. 2012 still feels quite crispy to me, as if fresh from the oven, as if not a single month had yet passed. Time is eluding me.
That said, I wish you a great set of the new, my wise friend :)
